IGEM/GL/4 Edition 2 - Gas system assets - risk management
IGE/GL/4 Edition 1 (entitled Management and Audit Procedures) has been superseded by IGEM/GL/4 Edition 2.
The scope of the document has been broadened from being just one for a safety management system to one covering the management of all types of risk associated with gas system assets. Risks include those associated with quality, the environment and safety.
The standard applies to Natural Gas, LPG, Bio-gas and Town’s Gas.
Due to the change in scope from Edition 1 to Edition 2 there have been many changes to the Sections covering Policy, Planning and Implementing, Auditing and Performance Review.
IGEM/GL/4 Edition 2 is available at £36 for members and £55 for non-members. Order online using the following link IGEM/GL/4 Edition 2.
IGEM/SR/14 Edition 2 - Fixed volume storage for lighter than air gases
IGE/SR/14 Parts 1 and 2 are now obsolete are a have been superseded by IGEM/SR/14 Edtion 2.
This Standard covers the safety aspects of design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance, decommissioning, inspection, modification and repair of:
· horizontal vessels and
· buried pipe arraysfor the storage of fuel gases with a specific gravity of less than 0.7, together with associated pipework and valves.
IGEM/SR/14 Edition 2 is available at £58 for members and £87 for non-members. Order online using the following link IGEM/SR/14 Edition 2.
IGEM/UP/6 Edition 2 - Application of compressors to Natural Gas fuel systems
IGEM/UP/6 Edition 2 covers the application of new positive displacement reciprocating compressors, screw compressors, slide vane compressors and centrifugal compressors to downstream natural gas installation pipework systems. Positive displacement compressors installed on industrial and commercial premises, within the stated scope for pressure, volume and power input, are also covered, as are the positive displacement compressors used in natural gas vehicle filling stations, where the shaft power input, normally, is in the range 10kW to 100kW.
IGEM/UP/6 Edition 2 is available at £58 for members and £87 for non-members. Order online using the following link IGEM/UP/6 Edition 2.
IGEM/TD/101 Edition 2 Adoption of pipesystems by a GT - management of UIP activities
Edition 2 of IGEM/TD/101 has been published and is now available. It reflects changes in practices and terminology and has been prepared by IGEM’s Panel comprising representatives of District Network Operators, the AIGT, independent gas transporters, SBGI UIP section, GIRSAP and Consultants.
IGEM/TD/101 sets down the minimum management requirements for the laying of newly constructed Natural Gas mains and services (pipelines) including associated installations, for example a PRI, having MOP of 7 bar, for adoption by a GT.
IGEM/TD/101 Edition 2 is available at £46 for members and £70 for non-members. Order online using the following link IGEM/TD/101 Edition 2.
IGEM/UP/4 Edition 3 - Commissioning of gas-fired plant on industrial and commercial premises
IGEM/UP/4 Edition 3 will supersede Edition 2 (Communication 1653). The revised Standard continues to promote the adoption of sound commissioning procedures for gas-fired plant and ancillary equipment.
It applies to plant on industrial and commercial premises and may equally be applied to large domestic premises that contain complex items of plant.
The outline of the typical commissioning procedure which this Standard provides is as follows:
- planning and programming
- inspection
- activation
- operation
- completion
- handover.
